English term or phrase: end to end
Show the deck of cards face-up and remove the 4 Aces.
Secretly turn these 4 cards end to end and place them back into the deck in different places.

French translation:retourner les cartes
Explanation:
I found this explanation:
If you turn the cards as though you were turning the pages of a book, the orientation will not be changed; if you flip the cards end-to-end an upright card will become reversed.
Here I think "turn the cards end to end" means "retourner" ou "mettre à l'envers", something like that.
I would check the rest of the text to be sure it makes sense though.
